WHO:
The Free Haiti Movement’s INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY DAY WITH
HAITI has been initiated and sponsored by the Haitian Lawyers
Leadership Network (HLLN) and co-sponsored by a network of university
students, human rights' activists, lawyers, artists, Haitian activists,
Haiti solidarity organizations, progressive radio and press outlets,
reparation organizations and the global African community from
the Caribbean, U.S., Canada, France, Latin America, Africa.

WHAT: HLLN's Free
Haiti Movement is launching its second INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY
DAY WITH HAITI and asking everyone to ANSWER
THE CALL
– remember Haiti's historical accomplishments, the unmatched
achievements towards inclusion and social justice of the Lavalas
Movement in Haiti and the Haitian people’s triumphs in 1986,
1990, 1995, 2000 and now February 7, 2006. Support
HLLN's 2006 Resolution (8-points).

WHEN:May
18, 2006 - Haitian Flag Day is International Solidarity Day with
Haiti!!! Worldwide, people are asked to organize an event in their
community in support of Haiti.

WHY:
To support the resistance inside and outside of Haiti to the U.S./Canada/France-backed
Coup D'etat and foreign occupation of Haiti.

WHY:
To support the Haitian Lawyers Leadership Network's 2006
Haiti Resolution and call for a stop to the killings,
rapes, arbitrary arrests and political persecutions in Haiti;
to support respect for the Feb. 7, 2006 vote and Constitutional
rule; to support the people of Haiti’s call for the authorities
to progress with all deliberate speed to sit a free and duly elected
Haitian Legislature, set a date firm for the inauguration of President
Rene Preval, and to stop further pressures from the international
community and mass media that would negate the Feb. 7, 2006 people's
mandate by vilifying President Preval or pressuring his government
and team into giving seats, positions or unmerited positions to
the losers of the Feb. 7th elections;

WHY:On this International Solidarity Day with Haiti
we are calling for the release of all political prisoners before
President Preval’s inauguration; asking the authorities
to disarm, prosecute and bring the death squads, ex-military,
paramilitaries, renegade police and coup d'etat orchestrators
to justice; to apply the UN’s Demobilization, Disarmament
and Reintegration program equally to the people in the poor neighborhoods
such as Bel Air, Site Soley, Solino, Martissant, et al, with Haitian
designed and implemented social programs; Demilitarize the Haitian
police and the UN peacekeepers, promoting not any army on Haitian
soil, foreign or domestic, but community-based policing; to not
remobilize the former military or reconstitute human rights violators
into the police force.The Free Haiti Movement is demanding that
deportations cease and temporary protected status be given to
fleeing Haitian refugees. We support calls by CARICOM, OAS, African
Union, Congressional Black Caucus for investigations into foreign
powers' role in the coup d'etat; and the call by HLLN for investigation
into the role of UN/MINUSTHA, OAS, Group 184, CEP and the de facto
authorities in electoral fraud to limit voter participation from
the poor areas and then dilute and diminish the value of the Feb.
7, 2006 people’s votes honestly cast, including HLLN’s
call to prevent further fraud in the second Legislative rounds.

WHY: To work cooperatively
with and say to the Haitian voters and Haiti’s majority
poor: "You shall not walk or die along this freedom road
alone or in vain. We shall fly Dessalines' liberating colors on
May 18, 2006 worldwide!"

ACTIVITIES:
There will be teach-ins, rallies and lectures before and on May
18, 2006 about Haiti's historical accomplishments; vigils, pickets
outside embassies and U.N. buildings; audio and video streaming
for internet and DVD distribution of testimony from victims and
resisters of the 2004 coup d'etat; the wearing and flying of the
blue and red colors of Haiti; and, the sacrilege of the 2004 bicentennial
coup, shall be remembered as Africans and friends of Haiti worldwide
commit to fax, call-in and deliver to French and US Embassies
and Consulates worldwide the People of Haiti’s demand that
France pays back the 22 Billion dollars it extorted from Haiti,
and the US pays back its portion of this illegal slave-trade debt
which was “refinanced” by the US in 1914 (enforced,
through a 19-year occupation), the final payment made in 1947
to the United States, after Haiti’s people had broken the
chains of racial slavery to win their independence.

Standing on Truth, Living without Fear: HLLN's position on foreign-sponsored
elections under coup d'etat, dictatorship and occupation | Haitian
Perspectives by Marguerite Laurent, October 31, 2005

(in 1990)"...Haitians, through
the ballot box, rebelled against their neocolonial status. They
rebelled against a racist world economy that locked them into
the role of producers instead of consumers. Under Aristide, they
wanted to complete what they began in 1803 – joining the
world community as equals.If
Haiti, as the hemisphere’s poorest nation, was successful
in escaping from their international debt and seizing control
of their own destiny, it could prove to be as devastating to the
global sweatshop economy as Haiti’s first revolution was
to the slave trade......."...the new (US-imposed Miami) government
also, as one of its first acts in office, cut Haiti’s minimum
wage by 50%, from about $3.60 for a 12 hour day, down to $1.60.
This is a big perk for Haitian-American Andre Apaid, owner of
numerous Haitian garment manufacturing plants making cheap wares
for American companies such as Disney, owner of the ABC network.
ABC joined the US corporate media in selling this American citizen
as a legitimate leader of Haiti’s “civil resistance”
to the popular Aristide Government. "Our
